Weekend Design Video Fun – 56 Leonard Street

This video has been floating around for a while and we’ve seen it numerous times. It never ceases to make this hobbyist smile. We always picture an intern architect slaving away for hours on this video and yet dream of making one ourselves. Special thanks to Swiss designers Herzog and de Meuron and their team for designing 56 Leonard Street and giving us this week’s ‘video fun’. This playful 56-storey tower in New York sits on the corner of Leonard Street and Church Street in Tribeca. A fantastically well integrated sculpture by Anish Kapoor sit at the corner of the building at street level.
